Horse Hair Bracelet

I've been looking at a facebook page of someone that does horse hair jewelry. (Pertra's Horse Hair Jewelry) What she does is beautiful and reasonably priced. So, of course I couldn't do anything the easy way and just send her the hair. I had to try to do it myself.

I already had the horse hair. When Lady died I confess, I did cut off her tail and save it. She had a very unique white tail with a black stripe.

Then I bought some of these, jewelry ends.

It took some experimenting but I finally decided I liked 4 strands braided together.

I raided V and E's craft kits and found this wire and beads that I braided in.

And this is the final product.

Not too bad for a first effort. E says I need to use better beads next time and I think I need to find some finer wire. I just hope the glue holds. Anyone interested?
